SNAPTRUDE SOFTWARE
Snaptrude is a powerful, browser-based, collaborative 3D modeling tool built for architects and interior designers. It combines smart, parametric modeling, live building design information, easy real-time collaboration, and strong interoperability with BIM tools like Revit to help you design better, more efficient and sustainable buildings..
1. History of formation:
The genesis of Snaptrude lies in Altaf Ganihar’s quest for solving some of the biggest hurdles that Architects face during the design stage. After meeting a myriad group of architects and designers he was surprised to find how fragmented and tedious the existing design process is. Most astonishing for him was the realization that the Architects have somehow learned to live with the way things are! With offices in New York and Bangalore and more than 40 team members, Snaptrude today is the leading company in the building design SaaS industry.

2. Features - Outstanding features:
Snaptrude is primarily used in the conceptual and preliminary design stages of BIM, shortening the time from sketching an idea to creating a complete BIM model, while facilitating early collaboration between stakeholders.
* Outstanding features:
- Rapid Concept Modeling: Snaptrude enables architects and designers to quickly create 3D models from ideas, and then create basic design models for clients to view.
- Powerful and intuitive design tools: Smart and intuitive design tools that understand walls, windows, and other architectural elements. Edit models easily with the ease of parametric objects
- BIM Data Automation: This tool provides the ability to automate the creation of BIM data from initial preliminary design drawings, making it easy to convert from concept models to BIM technical models
- Real-time design: Snaptrude supports real-time design and online collaboration, allowing multiple users to participate in developing ideas and coming up with solutions early in the design process.
- Geographical Data Integration: Snaptrude integrates geographic information (GIS) data, allowing architects and planners to consider factors such as location, climate, and topography early in the concept. Can simulate buildings on maps, specific locations
- BOQs and Area Statements: Live data calculations for areas with charts and BOQ that adjust as per the design to provide up-to-date data. Change logs keep track of all changes, big and small, over time.
3. Target customers:
Snaptrude focuses on simplifying the design and collaboration process, enabling customers to quickly transform ideas into reality.
- Architects and interior designers: Architects and designers can create 3D models and visualizations quickly, with real-time collaboration and easy design changes
- Real estate companies: Snaptrude helps real estate companies visualize projects, from developing preliminary plans to simulating spaces, making it easy to present ideas to clients and investors.
- Developers and project managers: This tool helps non-designers participate in the project development process through a simple interface, review designs, and make decisions quickly.
- Architecture and design students: Snaptrude can be a useful learning tool for students as they can easily create 3D models, test ideas, and collaborate with friends.
